LETTER TO THE EAGLES

Dear eagles,

I have been flying with you for the past two years. I have visited your nests and watched as you fed your chicks. I have observed your plumage changing through the year. I have been there whilst you were searching for a mate, hunting for rabbits and chased after foxes.

I have become invisible in order to get close without disturbing you. I have spent hundreds of hours hidden and have shared the emotion of listening to your mating call while having unexpected visitors: a friendly lizard, an amusing caterpillar, a singing robin or an absent-minded deer.

I know very few of you now remain, scarcely three hundred pairs, though I strongly hope that your silhouette never stops soaring across the Mediterranean forests.

Andoni

CREDITS

Andoni Canela is a nature photographer specialized in wildlife. His work on iberian lynxes, brown bears, wolves, tigers and orangutangs has appeared in major publications such as National Geographic, Geo, Newsweek, La Vanguardia y El País. He has published over a dozen books and more that 300 hundred articles.

All the photographs and videos appearing in AQUILA are of wild Imperial Eagles and have been photographed in their natural environment. To document these birds without causing disturbance it was necessary to travel to remote areas and remain patiently for long periods. The photographic work has been properly authorized by both the local administrations and the private properties.

AQUILA has the support of Fundación Félix Rodríguez de La Fuente.
